“We waited until the end of the regular season to surgically address an issue with Coach Beamer’s throat,” Virginia Tech head physician Dr. Gunnar Brolinson said in a statement. “The procedure went as planned, without complications, and he simply needs some rest before he returns to his normal routine. He’s been cleared to continue his game planning and film study and will return to the practice field as soon as possible. I fully expect Coach Beamer to coach in his 22nd consecutive bowl game.”
Beamer has coached Virginia Tech since 1987 and to get to his 22nd bowl, his team had to beat Virginia in its last game of the season to go to 6-6. The Hokies will find out their bowl destination on Sunday.
The school also said that Beamer was at home and resting comfortably in Blacksburg, Va.
